Mrs. Cleveland's Recent Visit to Phila-
delphia Results in Winning their
Support For Her Husband.
From the New York Graphic
PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 30.-Democratic
Cleveland the choice of Republican Phila-
delphial
Society" has said So and what society
says not only goes, but is usually more than
three-quarters right, and isgenerally win
| ner
And why does society say 500
| The reason is obvious. Society has been
| captured and taken into camp by clever
Mrs. Cleveland. Willing captives enough
to be sure, because there was something so
| winsome, SO magnetic, so taking, in a
| double sense, in this fair captor, that so
ciety held out all its hands, and submitted
eagerly to the silken bonds, and there are
| more hands waiting.
| Politicians of the Republican party are
already beginning to view with alarm, even
in this Republican stronghold, the rare
| piece of strategy accomplished by the wife
| of the President, and to tell the truth they
are only beginning TO see it after the mis-
chief is done. q
nprin,iS-When Mrs. Cleveland visited
| the country seat of Mr.. Childs at Wooton and
met there host of buds and'full blown sos
| ciety flowers, she impressed each and all of
| them with her charming manner, her clear
| good sense and her attractive face. Pretty
women are apt to be jealous of pretty
women, and mutual hauteur prevents any
kthing approaching familiarity, but with
I Mrs. Cleveland there was such spontamety
| of cordial feeling, such womanly magnet
| ism for women, that society went into
| ecStasies over her. At the following recep-
| ton at the house of a fashionable family IN
| Germantown the impression first made was
deepened and society was simply wild.
What delightful thing, thought society,
| it would be TO visit this lovely woman at
the White House!
And then, just for the novelty of the
thing, society began to think Husbands,
brothers and sweethearts were consulted.
Husbands, brothers and sweethearts said
that it was just possible that he wouldn't go
back TO Washington. OF course, they said
if Philadelphia should go Democratic then
his chances would be very good-in fact,
the old and untruthful axiom, "As Pennsyl-
vania goes so goes the Un1on," was quoted
at regular intervals.
Instantly and without parley the feminine
portion of the f. f. P's decreed that Penn
sylvania should go Democratic!
The majority was not settled upon,
although the fair tyrants wanted it large
enough to insure victory beyond perad-
venture.
but, SAID husbands, brotherS ana sweet
hearts
mo ifs or butts; up and be doing" And
| the mandate was obeyed.
Thus it comes that even the stanchest of
| Republicans, if he happen to be classed as
| a society man, has been cleverly captured.
He must maintain his position. His wife
| and daughters must not be put in the back
| ground. If Mrs. So-and-so is to be guest
at the White House, and so come in contact
with the best people in the national capital,
surely he is not going to let the two girls be
mortified to death. Surely, his politics can
have nothing to do with the happiness of his
children! This from mater-familias.
But the Republican candidate may have
a beautiful and accomplished wife, and in
that event
Nonsense A bird in the hand is worth
two in the BUSH Didn't Mrs. Cleveland
take especial notice of the girls and ask
them particularly TO call? If papa is any
kind of man at all and loves his wife he
will order that Mr.. Cleveland be elected.
Oh, papai
In every instance recorded up to this time
he has gone back on his political faith and
will work for Mrs. Clevelands husband.
